Don’t miss a Puyallup Fair highlight, Al’s Brain:  A 3-D Journey through the Human Brain with ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. The exhibit premiered at the Orange County Fair in July/August, and was a collaboration with “Weird Al” Yankovic. This FREE exhibit focuses on how the brain works, with a 3-D movie featuring “Weird Al” in the Brainitorium, and hands-on exhibits from the Pacific Science Center’s Brain Power. You can touch a real brain, or try brain teasers designed for various ages. It’s a fun, fascinating, and “Weird Al” wacky way to learn how the brain works.

 The Puyallup Fair first started in 1900. This Pacific Northwest tradition is one of the top ten fairs in the world in attendance, and features big name entertainment, the PRCA Rodeo, rides, exhibits, food, flowers, and animals.
